Time released his first album, Litterture, in 2004.[1] He then went on to release the album, Anti-Smiles, in 2006 under the moniker Calm with producer Awareness.[2] Denver Westword gave the album a favorable review, commenting that "[although] Anti-Smiles reflects the dark side of our collective psyche, it's also a statement of hope in the face of fear and self-doubt."[3] In 2007, he released his solo album, The Fantastic Reality.[4] Benzine Magazine gave the album 3 out of 5.[5]
Time released his solo album, Naked Dinner, in 2009.[6][7] It featured guest appearances from Damon Jevon, Sole, C-Rayz Walz and Extra Kool.[8] The album was described by Denver Westword as "a dark affair tonally reminiscent of There's a Riot Goin' On, with a similar socially critical agenda."[9]
In 2010, Time released 12 EPs in 12 months called the 12 Headed Hydra series for free download.[10] In 2013, he released Newstalgia, an album featuring contributions from the likes of Ceschi, Jake One, Factor, Budo, Man Mantis, and Xiu Xiu.[11]
As a journalist, Chris Steele has written for The Examiner as a progressive politics reporter.[12] He has written on topics ranging from UFO's to the death of Fred Hampton.[13] In 2011, he has received attention for writing in favor of the Occupy Wall Street movement and was interviewed on Mike Feder's XM radio show Occupied Territory.[14]
